Most weeks, the Aboard Podcast is only sponsored by Aboard—but this week, Paul and Rich celebrate Aboard’s relaunch by devoting the whole episode to their shiny new AI-powered product!

28d ago27:45

27:45

This past week, the big news in the design software world was Canva’s acquisition of Affinity, and Paul and Rich kick off the episode by asking, “Is this a failure on Adobe’s part?” But of course Adobe remains a massively profitable company—so what drives the impulse to frame a giant tech company’s misses as overarching “failures”?

Planning Through the Vibe Shift 27:12

1M ago27:12

27:12

Can we all agree that the vibes are off? On this week’s podcast, Paul and Rich dig into our broader societal malaise (the effects of the pandemic; our phones as an endless portal to misery) and discuss how business leaders can combat these feelings.

What the TikTok Ban Means to Tech at Large 26:01

1M ago26:01

26:01

Algorithmically innovative? An important tool for connection? A grave national security threat? Paul and Rich discuss the recent bipartisan vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to ban TikTok—and whatever you think of the platform itself, they argue that the move says something significant about the American government’s relationship with big t…

Exciting Product, Boring Business 23:01

2M ago23:01

23:01

How do you build a company that has an exciting product—but has nice, boring, stable qualities, too? Paul and Rich tackle this question from a variety of angles, from tax strategy to the value of marketing to treating the user like a spouse who might cheat on you if you stop putting any effort into the marriage. (And yes, don’t worry: There is also…

Hard AI Choices 33:11

2M ago33:11

33:11

Will generative AI give us the answer or lead us to the answer—or is that the wrong question entirely?

Demolishing the Global Town Square 26:53

2M ago26:53

26:53

As the last decade’s big social media platforms crumble, Paul and Rich reflect on the (false) promise of the “global town square,” and the suggestion that putting millions of people in a giant room together could be productive in any way. If the era of building software to facilitate networked connections is truly on the way out, does AI promise a …

Learning From People We Hate 27:19

2M ago27:19

27:19

When Paul suggests recording a podcast about public figures they admire, Rich has a counter-offer—why not talk about people they hate instead? But this particular exercise has a catch: They can only discuss things they admire or feel they can learn from said figures, a very tricky exercise with certain politicians! A countdown of five business and …

Paul Breaks His Foot and Observes Enterprise Healthcare Software 25:28

3M ago25:28

25:28

When Paul injures himself and is advised by his wife, Rich, and ChatGPT (seriously) to seek emergency medical attention, he goes to the urgent care and marvels at their utterly Byzantine technological set-up, from parallel, disconnected patient portals to being handed a literal CD-ROM with his X-rays. What can we learn from systems built for the ca…

Selling Software Like Tote Bags 26:15

3M ago26:15

26:15

What makes a person pay $120 for a tote bag—or fall in love with your software? Paul and Rich use a recent article about a TikTok influencer’s pricey (and popular!) tote bag to discuss our relationships with the things we buy, from unboxing videos (“commerce translated into emotional satisfaction”) to technologists’ largely incorrect assumption tha…

Controlled Chaos 23:18

3M ago23:18

23:18

Men will literally record a podcast about their anxiety rather than go to therapy. How do you run a business when the world is on fire in so many ways?

3M ago27:49

27:49

Our friends find themselves in a new, corporate co-working space, determining that this, finally, is the thing that will push their digital product over the edge.

Startup Year in Review 27:30

4M ago27:30

27:30

Rich and Paul talk about their willingness to be humiliated in a corporate context. It sounds just a little like they crave it. Especially Paul. Which is weird but whatever.

The Web Is a Sticky Pickle 28:52

5M ago28:52

Paul and Rich explore the web as a platform for everyone's data, leading to a shocking number of digressions into the class structure inherent in Android and iOS, how Google manages data, and old naked nudes. As noted at the beginning of the video, this one doesn't feature their little heads. They're going back to basics. This one does include so, …

An OpenAI and Shut Case 32:02

5M ago32:02

32:02

With Sam Altman fired from OpenAI, there was so much drama in tech that it was impossible not to discuss it. With no secret insight but remarkable aplomb, Paul and Rich dive deep on the passionate subject of corporate governance, and try to understand just what the hell is going on.Από τον Aboard
